Meet Our Coaches

Dr. Mary Doherty DNP/MSN-Ed-BSN-RN

Dr. Mary is a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) who specializes in weight management through a whole-person, mental-health-informed lens. Her work blends clinical expertise with compassionate support, recognizing that weight is shaped by stress, emotions, access, and lived experience. Her DNP project, One Size Does Not Fit All, demonstrated how personalized care, especially for underserved patients, can meaningfully reduce BMI and improve outcomes for chronic conditions such as diabetes. Her approach reflects a commitment to individualized, emotionally safe, and sustainable health change.

1:1 coaching treats the whole person, not just the weight — and that’s why it works.
